VR Experiences

Built using the popular game development tool Unity 3D, these reconstructions allows you to stand in medieval environments. Use a VR headset to transport yourself back up to a thousand years and experience life in medieval times.

Oculus Quest (2)

These reconstuctions have been tested on an Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2. To try this on an Oculus Quest 2, launch the built-in browser on the headset and navigate to this web page.

WebXR enabled mobile phone

These reconstuctions should also work on other webxr enabled devices such as mobile phones. These have been tested on a Pixel 3 Android phone.

WebXR with Unity 3D

WebXR leverages existing web technologies to create interactive VR experiences. Content built with the new WebXR standard is designed to deliver immersive experiences in VR. WebXR is compatible with all modern web browsers on PCs and mobiles.

Tested on the Oculus 2 and a Pixel 3 Android phone.

Haven't got a VR headset? You can still explore the keep using a Chrome, Edge or Firefox browser. Simply drag your view using the mouse.
